EPT Vilamoura Breaks Portuguese Poker Records!
The Pokerstars EPT 2010 has officially topped the previous record for attendance and prizepool at a live poker event here in Portugal. Prior to this year's event, the 2009 incarnation of the EPT pulled in 322 players, while the actual country record was a squeak above this at 326.
With at least 195 confirmed for today's flight yesterday, a satellite having run last night, and 181 taking their seats on 1A, this means that there's a new record in town (and of course a new top pool of cash generated by these high rollers, qualifiers, pros and enthusiastic amateurs).
Confirmation of the total number of attendants coming shortly!
